— OUTSTANDING: Legal pot opponents reject Pritzker’s social equity arguments –
Jessica Villagomez
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-illinois-recreational-marijuana-protest-20190506-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois on Monday rejected
Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s argument that his proposal would promote social equity by
providing potential benefits to communities that have been disproportionately
affected by enforcement of lower-level drug crimes. “Minorities have said to me
we don’t want this stuff in our neighborhood,” state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des
Plaines, said at a news conference outside the Thompson Center in the Loop.
“There’s other ways to generate revenue, not on the backs of our children and
young adults.”)

challenger Marie Newman gains major endorsements – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN:
Concerning me, the following were not incumbent-friendly organizations: TAPROOT

Township Republican Central Committee in 2010 and 2004, Illinois Center Right
Coalition in 2007, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest
Chapter in 2004, and GAO in 1997.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-cheri-bustos-democrat-incumbents-lipinski-newman-20190506-story.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Bustos has faced criticism from more progressive elements
of the party for opposition to primary challenges and for a DCCC policy that
also prohibits political advisers, consultants or vendors from doing work with
the organization if they work against incumbents. “I don’t want to spend one
ounce of any resource on keeping Democrats in the seats that they already have.
I want to make sure that we have resources to pick up seats,” said Bustos, who
called the DCCC “an incumbent-friendly organization.”)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— No Partner, No Kids, No Problem (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is
nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty. They used/use
against me the fact that I did not get married until was 29, that my wife has
always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not
adopt, and that we did not become foster parents.)
https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/05/no-partner-no-kids-no-problem
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If
you aren’t married and don’t have kids, people at work might assume a lot of
things: that you can stay late at the office, that you can’t possibly
understand their stories about parenthood, that you just haven’t found the
right partner (ugh). But those assumptions are often false. Single childless
women have busy lives, close relationships with children like nieces or nephews
— and many don’t want coupledom or motherhood. We talk to two women who’ve been
researching and writing about being a single childless professional. The writer
Shani Silver shares her experience with the career pros and cons, and then
Tracy Dumas, a professor at Ohio State University, gives research-backed advice
for responding to bias and unrealistic expectations.)
